Nice one.

There was me thinking all you queezy spams were too scared to go flying at all, never mind to a dangerous continent like Europe.

But then since 86% of you don't even own a passport, I guess you're ignorance of the rest of the planet is vaguely understandable.

I think you will find that the good 'ol U S of A is the home of protectionism as far as dealing with Johny Foreigner is concerned. So I don't think anyone on this side of the 'pond' will be taking any lessons from you.

By the way, you might want to compare the proportion of slots held by BA at LHR, to those of the airlines you mentioned at their 'home' bases. Or indeed Lufthansa at FRA, or Air France at CDG. Do let us know.

Okay Yah!

By the way, how many of your airlines would have survived at all without troughing down those massive government handouts.I imagine with bottomless pockets like that, Delta, USAir, NW, and CO, will never have to worry about competition at all.
